FINE ARTS. 111 E CIIILDREN OF THE NOBILITY. Longman, L on d on , 1838 . Children This volu me form s th e secon d ser i es of Portraits of the of the Nobility, the first having been published, if e remember rightly, in the au t umn o f l ast year. Th e Work is dedicated, by permission, to the Queen ; is edited by. Mrs. Fairlie ; and contains a variety of portraits of aristocratic youths of both sexes. For the accuracy of the • liken es we cannot speak ; but as works of art, the plates deserve high praise, for great skill and pains-taking are evident in all of them, and the designs from which they have bee n. execut e d , are by some of the cleverest painters of the. Land seer contributes a full-length picture of Blanche Egerton —a pretty little girl, who is dressed in filluY fashion, and in which we find some striking contrasts of light and shade ; Hayter, a spirited sketch of young Al pre non n sin Capel ; an d M i ss Fanny Corboux—one of the most artists of the day—a portrait of the Marquis of Northampton's daughter- - a lively, fair-faced girl, who . is re resented sitting on a mossy bank with a bunch of . wild 'lowe rs in her lap. The attitude of this young lady is re markable for its ease and grace. The poetical illustrations of these pictures are from the pens of various contributors,. 4 ,.., m( mg the most successful of whom we may mention Barry "rowan, and James Smith author of the well known , Rejected Addresses."

Th e Clirton, London, 183 S. lad_ authoress of this volume of poems is an American ~T v , named O sgoo d, w ho, in a rhymed preface, entitled, h en ° , My Book," appears to be quite in a flutter of appre- Iv i ti !wil as to the reception her goodly octavo may eet e ,i t `! from the Reviewers. The " cold critic"—the "pirate sh e le ,, -- are the dulcet and complimentary terms in which f e l t alludes to the stinging-nettle fraternity, just as if she d e ,Morally convinced that criticism would breathe its sheaeliest mildew on her pretty, sprouting versicles. Now for L ne ed have ent e rtained no apprehensions on this score, „eilaz Poems are really very clever of their kind, and as th e s mere versification, show an ear finely attuned to all or .Meloies of rhythm. We meet with no bold thought attl:l.l4Paseus s d ioned feelings in them ; nothing can be more un s - iti a;att than their character, for they treat of light, familiar e e l ' s in an easy and unassuming style. The majority e a mirthf u l or d er , an d would seem to be modelled tathe livelier strains of Haynes Bayley. We subjoin a p ll sa or two from a poem headed " Why Don't He m ho , of 14 - which is a dexterous, but not servile, imitation .1 4' Batley's manner e Vows that my dimple is love's sunny spell, dear, :hat my form than a fairy's is prettier far, shell, y teeth a re b u t p eat is in a rich crimson dear, t i My eii:•ek a blu s h r os e, and my bright eye a star I s ays that my voice is bewitchingly tender; I sing to him a l wa y s of love's gentle woes -i, k nows lam r ea dy my heart to surrender — Ile knows I adore him—why don't he propose ? .` He likes timid women ; by nature I'm bold, love, B ut once wh en i t thundered, I clung to his arm, P ala: and Iklamma did look awfully cold, love, But he seemed delighted—and where was the harm? a,,gazed on my drooping form, languidly leaning, e pressed my fair fingers—as long as lie chose; e Ye popp'd the question, with looks full of meaning; B ut his lip s —h ow provoking !—I thought he'd propcse !"

" And thus, tho' she is sorrowing now, She is not often so, For the very power of loving much,' la happiness, you know ; And in each living thing she sees, In every bird and flower, • The sicople, earnest, guileless child Can find a pleasing power." Mrs • Osgood is very happy in some of her epigrams, p ear are are pointed. with Much case and adroitness.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1838. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The Duke and Duchess Alexander of Wurtemberg, passed through Aix on the 14th inst., on their way to Nice. M. Thiers arrived at Marseilles, by the steam-packet, from Naples, on the 14th inst., started again for Paris on the 15th, and arrived last night. Marshal Macdonald, Duke de Tarentum, has left his chateau in Touraine for Italy, where he intends passing the winter on account of a severe affetion of the throat, for which he is ordered to try the effects of a southern climate. _ _ ---; The Surprise, which has arrived at Toulon from the Archipelago, has brought for the Royal Museum at Paris the bas-reliefs collected by M. Raoul Rochette from the Temple of Bacchus at Assos. A luminous meteor was seen on the evening of the 13th instant at Cherbourg, in the direction of Cape La Hogue. It appeared about one-third of the size of the full moon, and passed with great velocity very near the earth in a south-west direction, remaining visible for nearly two minutes. It threw out a white flame, and left in its track a long undulating train, appearing ultimately to fall into the sea. The . total population of France on the Ist of January, 1836, was 33,540,910. The total number of births in 1835 was 993,833, viz., 512,361 males, and 481,465 females ;of these 74,727 were illegitimate, being 38,270 males, and 36,475 females. The total number of deaths was 816,413, viz., 414,625 males and 401,788 females. The total number of marriages was 275,008, and the in crease of population for the year was 177,420. A violent epidemic malady is raging at the present time at Corms, in the Aude, where, out of a population of 600, 180 are returned as being affected by it, and 50 dead. It is said to resemble what was called the black sickness of the 14th century. The National Guards of four companies of the sth and 6th Legions of Paris, met at a public dinner in the Ven danges de Bourgogne on the. 19th instant. The room not being sufficiently spacious to accommodate the whole, only 434 sat down to table, among whom were 70 or 73 officers. After the cloth had been removed, M. Hulot, the Presi dent, proposed a toast to Electoral Reform. M. Girard af terwards rose, and in the name of the sth Legion gave a toast, " to the English Reformers." " The patriotic meeting of this day," said M. Girard, " will make known to the partisans of British Reform our satisfaction and grateful thanks for the address voted to the Parisian National Guard by the great Birmingham assembly. Let us answer the appeal of our friends at the other side of the Channel by covering with our names the petition we address to the Deputies of France, in order to obtain access to the electoral Colleges for all citizens ob liged by the law to watch in turn for the maintenance of order and liberty." This toast was received with a thunder of applause, and was twice encored. M. Hulot then thanked the meeting for the honour it had done him in appointing him to preside at the banquet. " Let us retire," said he in concluding, " with becoming calmness, and not afford our political enemies the slightest pretext for misrepresenting the pacific object of our re union. Let us be firm and prudent. We must ulti mately conquer, for the movement which now hurries along the world cannot but end in the triumph of liberty." The meeting then broke up, after making a collection in favour of the poor of the two municipal districts. The Conpnerce asserts confidently that the Government has ordered a corps of 40,000 men to be assembled on the northern frontier of France. The Courtier Francais publishes a letter of the 10th instant from Oran, stating that .ome Arabs of the tribe of Sidi-Khanen, who had arrived, offered to pledge their lives for the truth of the statement that Abd-el-Kader had been taken prisoner by the Marabouts of Ain Maidi, and they added that he would probably be strangled by the Arabs of the desert.

MADRID, Nov. 14.—The Valencian mail, which arrived late in Madrid yesterday evening, brings intelligence of a correspondence to which much interest is attached here, having taken place between Cabrera and General Van Halen. The letter of this monster is quite worthy of the perpetrator of those crimes which have rendered his name infamous. After endeavouring to excuse himself for the assassinations committed by him on recent occasions, be threatens to renew these horrors, and points out, by way'of giving greater effect to his intimidation, the execution of the brother ok Senor Mon, the late Master of Finance, an officer now a prisoner with the factious of Valencia. Gen. Van Helen replies to these sanguinary threats, that he is resolved on following up the system of reprisals, asserts his intention of having an officer of equal rank with Mon exe cuted in the event of the threat being carried into effect against him, and reminds Cabrera of the fact of the Chris tinos having still in their possession ten thousand Carlist prisoners, whose lives will be held responsible for the con duct of their brother-Carlists in the provinces. The Congress met again yesterday, and sat for a short period. The expected discussions on the state of siege in the capital, and the neglected condition of the provinces of La Mancha and Toledo, did not come on, in consequence of the absence of the Ministers in the Chamber. In the absence of Ministers—absent because of being conscious of having no explanation to offer for their con duct—a short discussion took place on the project of law priding since the last Session with respect to the curtailing the salaries of retired officers of the Government, and more particularly of retired Ministers, of whom there is now the enormous number of some 120 or 130 individuals. Senor Aubedo and the Conde de las Navas censured the late Government for having thrown obstacles in the way of the settlement of this question in the last Session, par ticularly by Senor Mon. The conduct of this individual was defended by his colleague, Senor Castro, on the ground of delicacy on the part of the Government to in terfere with the rights of the individuals interested without first consulting them. The subject was ultimately referred to the Committee engaged on the matter last Session. The spirit hitherto manifested in the Chamber presages a most bitter and acrimonious Parliamentary warfare. Letters from Burgos of the 10th instant state that Me rino, instead of proceeding into Leon and neighbouring dis tricts to sack small towns of money and young men, as was known to be his object, countermarched from Horrera de Pisuerga, crossed the Brijula on the 9th, and was making again for the Sierra of Burgos. He appears too actively pursued by Hoyos to be able to effect the objects of his excursions. No Presidency yet formed,of the Council, and Is t euriezewhichrefuses positively hs p party t t y o acceptthe would force on him. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

The Earl and Countess of Chichester, who have been making a tour of Germany, arrived at Venice on the Bth inst. Viscount and Viscountess Combermere arrived in town yesterday, from their seat Combermere Abbey, Che shire, and proceeded in the latter part of the day for Brighton. His Excellency Count Woronzow arrived in town on Wednesday evening from a visit to the Dowager Coun tess of Pembroke, at Wilton House, near Salisbury. His Excellency Count Pozzo di Borgo entertained Count Woronzow, Prince Michael Soutzo, and a select party at dinner last evening at Ashburnham House. Count and Countess Charles Pozzo di Borgo are expected at the Russian Embassy very early in the ensuing month from Paris, the Russian Ambassador having determined not to visit the French capital this winter. Lord Foley arrived on the 7th inst. at Florence. Lord Emlyn arrived at the Earl of Cawdor's town mansion in South Audley-street yesterday from Wales. Lord andLadyLyttleton, after paying a visit to their Noble relative the Duke of Devonshire at Venice, left that city on the 10th inst. for Genoa. Sir Frederick Lamb has left Italy on his return to Vienna, to resume his duties as British Ambassador at the Austrian Court. The lucrative naval appointment of Inspector- General of the service of the Coast Guard has become vacant by the demise of Captain G. W. N. Knight. Thu appointment is in the gift of the Board of Admiralty. Ensign the Hon. William Skeffington Foster, son of Viscount Ferrard, and brother to Lord Massareene, has been appointed by the Governor of New South Wales As sistant Engineer and Superintendent of iron gangs at Bathurst-road, Sydney. Mr. Foster holds a commission in the 80th regiment. POST-OFFICE CONSISTENCY.—One may in Lon don receive a French nemspaper from the remotest part of the south of France for no more than a half-penny charge of postage. But should any one save the Post-office all the trouble of bringing the said French paper to London, and when there, put it in the post to be sent to its address in turn, the Post-office charges two pence I This is only one out of five hundred instances that might be mentioned, all of which lead to the belief that the chief study of the Post office authorities is that of " ingeniously tormenting," by the exquisite absurdity of their regulations.—illorning Post. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—An original burletta, en titled The Court of Old Fritz, was produced here last even ing, with a degree of success which i s of the simplest. takings at this theatre. The plot scene is at the Court of Frederick the Great. Its literary merit is respectable. The dialogue, though containing some clap-traps, is, at all events, many grades above non sense ; and it must not be forgotten, that there is a mani fest disadvantage in having to find wit for Voltaire ! Farren sustained alternately the part; of Old Fritz and Voltaire, and played them both admirably. Mr. James Vining, too, acted well ; and there was an even respectability in the general performance of the other actors. In the getting up, scenery, costumes, and elaborate appointments nothing could be more tasteful, cor rect, and excellent than was the whole burletta, which is as pleasant a trifle as could well be produced, even under the gra'aful management of the Olympic.

COURSING. HAMPTON COURT MEETING. The Victoria Club held its second meeting yesterday for the purpose of running off the remaining ties for the Cup, of which we gave the first day's coursing last week. The weather was unfa vourable in the morning, but cleared up towards noon, and was fine to the conclusion of the day. The company was numerous, the arrangements excellent, and the sport good. The following are returns:— THE CUP. Second Ties—Mr. A. Wood's r. and w. b. Poll beat Mr. Law rence's f. and w. d. Lumpy, Mr. Legh's bl. b. Lucy beat Mr. Spooner's blk. and w. d.

Coun tess, after twe undecided courses. Two or three other matches were run. A " CATCH WAGER"—APPEAL TO THE JOCKEY CLUB.— A bet, which is called, in sporting phraseology, a " catch wager," was laid by Mr. B. and the youngest son of a well known sporting Marquis, a few evenings ago, as they were leaving Crockford's Club House, and came off on Wednesday morning. Mr. B. bet the son of the Marquis 500/. to 2001. that he would walk, fair toe and heel walking, from the Bank of England to the Mint and back again to the Bank within seven minutes and a half—the affair to be decided within one week, and twenty- four hours' notice to be given by Mr. B. to the other party. The young nobleman, as may be imagined, was not a little surprised at receiving a letter from Mr. B. on Tuesday morning, requesting his attendance, with his friends and umpire, at the entrance of the terminus of the Great Western Railway, at Paddington, on the following morning at eleven o'clock, for the purpose of deciding the wager; and upon sending a friend to Mr. B. for an explanation (presuming the letter to be intended as a hoax) he was informed, to his great surprise and chagrin, that close to the spot named in the letter there were two large gin palaces, one known by the name of " The Mint," and the other by that of " The Bank of England," situated within less than a hundred yards of each other. Mr. 8., with his friend, was punctual to the appoint ment he had made ; but the Marquis's son, knowing the case was hopeless, did not go to witness his own mortification and defeat, and left Mr. B. to walk over the course along with his friend, the other umpire, who was named at the time the wager was laid. On their return in the afternoon the amount of the bet was demanded of Lord —, and refused on the ground that the wager contemplated the Bank of England in Tin eadneedle street, and the Mint on Tower-hill, and not a brace of public houses at Paddington, known by the respective signs of the Bank of England and the Mint. It was ultimately arranged that the whole affair should be referred to the judgment of the Jockey Club ; both parties agreeing to abide by whatever the club should decide to be the fair, equitable, and strict sporting meaning of the terms of the wager.

The matter refers to acts of violence and insults of the most serious character offered by Mr. Somers to Mr. Beaumont, in the presence of seve ral witnesses. This affair, which doubtless in a few days will fill the coiums of the London Papers, is the subject of conversation at the English Embassy, and in all the Eng lish society. We shall not enter into the details which are circulated on this occasion respecting the occurrence which preceded this strange affair, but shall wait the discussions which must take place.—Le Nouvellisle, Paris Paper of the 17th Nov. SUDDEN DEATHS.—About five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Sophia English, a young married lady, re siding in Haberdasher-street, Hoxton, called to make a purchase at the shop of Mr. Griffiths, a haberdasher, in Pitfield-street, and whilst she was giving her orders to the shopman she suddenly became very pale, and fell forward against the counter. She was carried into the parlour behind the shop, where every attention was paid her, and medical assistance sent for, but the unfortunate lady ex pired before its arrival. The deceased was only twenty-two years of age. On the same afternoon Samuel Horfield, a potman at the Axe public-house, Hackeey-road, was serving a customer in Cumberland-street with beer, when he suddenly dropped down and almost instantly died. Master Owen, who was received with enthusiasm on his first appearance in London at Davidge's Royal Sur rey Theatre in the ch ar acters of Young Norval, in t he tragedy of Dougl as , an d S e li m , in Barbarossa, is, w e perceive by the bill s , expressly engaged to sustain th e character of Oliver Twist, in the drama now performing with unbounded success at the above thea're. We under stand Master Owen resigned a very lucrative engagement in the country, to appear in thispopular drama. AWFUL SHI PWRECK—FI VE LIVES LOS T.-- DUNGAItYAN, MONDA Y , Nov. 19, 1838.—0 n Sund a y evening, about h a lf- past five o'clock, the Saint John, of all H o n e l b % Dungarvan, Capt a i n C urreen, Master, and part owner , from Swansea, l a d en w ith coi l s for this port, was lost a t Carri ghaamrbonu'r oppositeand c a k r d - 11, consisting s tai nof t the s ix in entrance en, l sot withth e the exception of Thomas Higgins, one of the crew, who was miraculously saved. The vessel has gone to pieces , and was worth 1,200/. She made the entrance of the harbour about four o'clock, and if a pier were at Helvick, could have taken sh e lt er t h ere. This proves t h e gre at necessity of building a pier at Hekiek, which would be the means of saving many lives, and considerable property. The vessel was not insured. Two of the bodies have been found.—Tratiford Chronicle. REPRISALS. General Espartero preceded the shooting of twenty-five Carlist prisoners, at Logrono, by addressing the following letter to the Carlist Commander-in-Chief, Maroto To Senor Don Gulielmo Wylde, Commissioner of her Britannic M.ijesty's Government at the Head-quarters of this Army. Sir,—His Excellency the General-in Chief wrote, on the 10th instant, as follows, to the superior chief of the enemy's forces : " Whon, on the 11 th of October last, I accepted the convention so much desired, and so often proposed by me, that both parties should conduct the war according to the stipulatio ns o f L ord El i ot, and to the principles of the rights of humanity, I did not expect that your subordinates would so shortly afterwards break the agreement so atro ciously as they did yesterday morning between this town and Viana towards a party of the Provincial Regiment of Salamanca. " I should not have had any observations to make if the parties sacrificed had been killed in regular warfare ; but that your subordinates should have slaughtered those who had surrendored, and, after having thrown away their mus kets, and given themselves up to such superior force, under the assurance of the quarter that was offered them, which assurance was so shamefully violated, is a ferocious deed, and an insult to humanity, and which will occasion to fall upon the perpetrators the odious consequences of reprisals feelin but whi c h having exhausted all the conciliatory —a sever e and afflicting measure, and repugnant to my gs, means within my reac h , i s now t h e on ly one that is left me for putti ng a stop to similar crimes. "The judicial proceedings I have ordered to be institu• ted, a copy of which I enclose, prove the truth of this sanguinary event ; although the horrible spectacle of the atrocious barbarity of their assassins would, of itself, be suf ficient evidence. le consequence of these proceedings I have found my self in the grievous necessity of ordering that the prisoners taken from the faction of the tiger l3almaseda, who were kept in this depot by an excess of humanity, shall be shot ; because it was that abortion of the human species (Balma seda) who yesterday consummated this horrible sacrifice, in violation of the existing agreement, his ferocity being so great that the few living intAvidunls tvlia were discovered among the dead bodies, and who were only left there be ' cause their vile assassins considered them to be dead, also were mutilated carcases, and dragged on a short remnant of life until their arrival here, only in time to receive the last spiritual consolations. " I hope that in future you will, by causing the afore said agreement to be fulfilled, prevent similar acts, which are contrary to the noble profession to which I belong ; but if, unhappily, they should be repeated, or if any of the pri soners who belonged to our ranks should be made to suffer on this account, for that reason and in that case all those prisoners who have been taken by this army will have solely to blame the barbarity of their own people for the sad lot that will await them ; and unhappy Spain, Europe, and the universe, will have cause to reprobate you alone as the cause of the rupture of the stipulations of Lord Eliot, which will be the inevitable consequence. " And I forward the above to your Excellency, by his Excellency's orders, for your due information, and for the purposes you may deem expedient with regard to the com mission which you so worthily fill at the head quarters of the army. " God preserve your Excellency many years. (Signed) " JUAN TENA." _ " Haad-quarters, Logrom;, Nov. 12, 1838." The Eco del Comercio publishes the following despatch, which will show to what a savage extent the system of re prisals was carried on in the province of Valencia : " The Brigadier Chief of the Staff of the Army of the Centre writes to me from Sarrion, under the date of the 4th instant, to the following effect :—' Excellency, I ad dressed to you on the Ist instant, from the head-quarters of Teruel, the annexed despatch :—The General-in-Chief of the Army of the Centre, convinced that the noble and hu mane conduct hitherto pursued with regard to the rebel prisoners,',so far from diminishing th sufferings of the brave of the national army who had fallen into the hands of the Carlists, had, on the contrary, encouraged the latter to shed the blood of those unfortunate victims, in violation of all the laws of humanity, has ordered, by way of retaliation for the execution of the ninety-six sergeants at which the ferocious Cabrera presided in the Forcall, that, on receipt of this despatch, you immediately cause to be putto death the 28 rebel sergeants confined in the depot of the Captaincy-General. Ten others, detained here, will be likewise shot, together with 58 more in Saragossa. The bearer of this despatch having been taken by the enemy, I address to you a fresh copy thereof. " Consequently two rebel sergeants were shot this even ing, and orders have been transmitted to the department of Alicant to execute 19 more. Six sergeants having been shipped for Catalonia at Carthagena, the General-in-Chief is to be requested to point out the seven wanting to com plete the 28. " By order of his Excellency the Colonel of the Staff. " Valencia, Nov. 8. " MIG UEL CORMANO." BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Nov. 21.—The average prices of wheat and rye, in the week ending the 17th Nov., were as follows : Wheat, 25.2 f. ; Rye, 14.91 f. per hectolitre. The exporta tion of Wheat, therefore, remains prohibited, and it is ex empt from import duty. The import duty on Rye remains at 121.50 f. per 1,000 kilogrammes. CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES. SITTING OF NOV. 20. The President said— " Gentlemen,—Your deputation has had the honour to present to his Majesty the Address which you have voted in answer to the Speech from the Throne. The King an swered— Gentlemen,—The unanimity of the sentiments which the country manifests is a certain sign of its unalterable at tachment to its nationality and of its love of its institutions. " I see with pleasure that the efforts of my Government for the development of public prosperity, and of all that does honour to the country, are justly appreciated. " I receive with satisfaction, Gentlemen, the assurance which the Chamber of Representatives gives me of its co operation in all the measures that the wants of the country call for." The Chamber resolved that the King's answer should be printed, together with the Address. M. de Renesse read the following letter from M. Jadot : " Gentlemen, and dear Colleagues—l have read the answer of the Chamber to the speech from the Throne. " I consider it as an engagement entered into by the 83 Members who voted it, to reject every proposal tending to the dismemberment of the country ; it is on this under standing that I assent to it. " Still kept at home by indisposition, and vexed at not being able to repair to the Chamber, I yield to my desire to tell you, that on all occasions I will unite my efforts to yours, to defend the national honour, of which we are the guardians. Accept, &c., " JADOT."- Two projects of law were presented, the object of which is to give legal validity to the treaties of commerce con cluded with France and with the Ottoman Porte. After some discussion they were referred to a Committee. The Chamber then proceeded to the continuation of the debate on the law relative to the stamp duties which was commenced in May, during the last Session. DUTCH FUNDS.—AMSTERDAM, Nov. 20. Money.

T URKE Y. — CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 31.—We have at last got in telligence that things have been satisfactorily arranged in Persia. By a messenger who arrived here two days ago letters were received from Tabreez, to the Bth instant, stating that, in conformity to the promise made to the British Ambassador, through his delegate at the Royal camp, Colonel Stoddart, the Shah, on the 9th of Septem ber, raised the seige of Herat, and on the 12th he and his army were already fifty-two miles on their way back. towards Tehran. This important news had inspired every body in Persia with the hope that the sufferings of that unhappy country were drawing to a close. The mercan tile body in particular felt confident that they were about to enter upon the smooth paths of prosperity and fortune. The presence of the Shah's Court and camp at the capital will necessarily have a good effect, to begin with : and then the revival of public confidence will be quickly followed by a thousand facilities, without which commerce is mere shop-keeping. It was concluded also that the Shah, having conceded the main point to the English Government, will not hesitate to adjust the minor objects still to be put in order. Mr. M'Neill was, therefore, preparing to set, out from Tabreez to return to Tehran, where he and the Persian Monarch are to meet and settle every thing, and in the mean time he had sent off Col. Shiell to join the Shah, and assure him of the renewed friendly disposition of England. The messenger who brought the above intelligence was this morning sent on towards the frontier with the de spatches from Persia from the Foreign-office. That the energy on this occasion shown by the British Government should have led to such desirable results will surprise no one. Russia intrigues, blusters, and bullies, but the mo ment she sees that, by persevering in her reprehensible course, she must come to blows with England, before whom she really trembles like a culprit before the execu tioner, she skulks off at once. She is like weakness clothed in armour. Strip off the warrior's garb which in timidated, and uncloaked emaciation excites nothing but contempt. The so-much feared Russian bear is thus found to be but a bugbear. On the 27th inst., Admiral Stopford, with the Princess Charlotte, Bellerophon, Vanguard, 4sig, and Minden, left Vourla for Malta. The Penzbraite, Rodney i and Ta lavera remained, and were to accompany the Turksh flea now ordered back to Constantinople, as far as the mouth of the Dardanelles. If, instead of Malta, the Admiral's destina tion had been the Black Sea, Russia would at this mo ment have been on her knees appealing to that British for bearance on which alone her existence depends. The pas sage into the Euxine of British ships of war would, it is true, have been rather against the provisions of the treaty of Unkiar Iskelessi ; but have we not declared that treaty to be mazy cwenu i as far as we are concerned? We have had many reports of late on the subject of po - pular discontent in Georgia, and a rising of the Lezguees against the Russians, of whom, if the last rumours are en titled to credit, fully 6,000 have already been put to the sword, the rioters taking possession of Shervan. According to the same authority the Circassians were also fast uniting to expel their invaders. M. Achart, the new Belgian Charge d'Affaires, arrived here a few days ago, and the late Charge pro tempore, Count Vilain XI V. went off on the 28th for Vienna. A Russian schooner of war sailed from Buyukdere for the Mediterranean on the 27th, and it is rumoured that Russia and Prussia are about to grant to Mehemet Aii a treaty of protection, which is to be a counterpoise to the conventions of England and France. Baron Roussin, the French Ambassador, has finally re ceived instructions to enter into a commercial treaty with the Porte, framed in precisely the same terms as the late convention with England. This shows that, notwithstand ing all the recent appearances of a contrary tendency, the Courts of the Tuileries and St. James are likely to go hand-in-band in this affair. France may probably pretend to interpret the sth article, which attacks the financial system of the Pacha of Egypt, in a way to suit her own peculiar views. But as there must be ten conclusive an swers for every argument and objection she may bring for ward, and as, moreover, it can be easily proved that, com mercially and politically, France has been altogether wrong and acting against h er own i nterests in this matter, it is hoped that she will quickly join us in our sounder, safer, and more profitable mode of proceeding, The Porte ought very soon to be able to emancipate itself from the dangerous aid of Greeks, who, from their knowledge of French, have long had the lead in the trans lating and interpreting departments. There are now seve ral Turks who speak and write French sufficiently well for every useful purpose, and all that is required is that they should be brought forward. To trust a Greek of the Fanal with confidence is like trusting gold to a thief, or virtue to a debauchee. A traveller of the highest intelligence, just arrived from Syria, and who knows the Druses well, asserts that the Egyptian troops are making very little progress in with thawing from the mountaineers their arms. A few unser. viceable muskets and rifles are obtained, whilst nearly all the weapons fit for use are safely concealed. He is of opi nion that as soon as the winter sets in, when the wells will be full of water, and the roads nearly impassable to an army, the Druses will be on foot again. The tr:fling disorders that lately agitated the island of Candia, have been completely put down. If certain persons who ought to know are to be believed, the movement was provoked, not at the instigation of the Greek, but of the Turkish Government ; and the individuals who suffered condign punishment in consequence, were nearly all of Otto man and not Greek origin. Other accounts had previously stated the contrary. We had some absurd reports in circulation last week, about the defeat, by the Kurdes, of the Turkish army in Asia, under Hafez Pacha, the Commander-in -Chief. As these may possibly get into some of the public prints, it may be well that I should here state that, by very recent advices from head -quarters, everything was ea ceable that directio n , an d not a word is mentioned of p any fight in in whate ver . O ne or two l etters state merely that the Angles Polish General Shanowsky, with two other of his country men, had been under the necessity of leaving the army, in consequence of the complaints of M. Boutenieff, that they might be the means of corrupting the Russo-Prussian batch of officers now employed under the same Pacha. Shanowsky and his companions had withdrawn to Bagdad, where, perhaps, they may be made still more useful in drill ing fresh t roo p s . Very great activity continues to be apparent in all the warlike departments here, and renewed stores of ammuni tion are constantly sent off for Asia. At Topkbane hun dreds of workmen are employed night and day. The Turkish fleet is expected back here by the Ramazan, to commence on the 18th November.-11/Orning Herald. A new Swedish Minister, 'Baron Troil, is expected to arrive here by the Danube steamer on Tuesday next, and a house has been prepared for bis reception. It is now eight years since there has been a Swedish Minister resi dent here. Mr. Bulwer intends returning to England before he pro ceeds to St. Petersburgh, and will, it is expected, now leave very shortly. He is to be replaced by Mr. Bank,head, late Secretary of Embassy to the United States. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) from Erzeroum, broug the messenger f rom ht by Persia, ment i on an insurrection aga.inst the Russ having broke n out i n G eorgia. According to the report i i a n ns circula tion in that city, Shim had been pillaged, and totally de stroyed by the Lesgbis, and about 6,000 Russian troops massacred. The revolt was expected to spread throughout the province. It was, moreover, stated that two Russian general officers bad been murdered by the Lesghis, who were assembled in a numerous body not far distant from Teflis. Great discontent had manifested itself openly in that city, and an attack was daily expected to be made by that tribe. It was to the existence of this insurrection that every one attributed the orders sent by the Governor.. General of the province to the frontiers to double the usual quarantine, and on no account to permit any traveller to leave the country. According to the intelligence received yesterday from the Crimea, the Russian fleet had sailed with 15,000 men for Ridout Kaleh, whence this body of troops is to march on to Georgia. A US TIA. BUACIIREST.—I ha ve just D arned a fact which affords additional proof of the jealousy and discontent of Russia on the subject of our foreign relation s and of her ulterior views respecting our country. You are aware that the two islands at the mouth of the Danube aro occupied by the Russians. From the outset they endeavoured by all pos sible means to injure our two harbours of Braila and Galatz. They began by establishing quarantines • they next levied a d u t y o f f our per cent., to which they at tempted to subject foreign goods imported into Moldavia, but were obliged to forego that pretension, thanks to the interference of England. They have now devised a still more efficacious plan to attain their end, which, if they be allowed to go on, must ultimately destroy our two harbours. When the Turks were in possession of those islands they took care, every four or five years, to clear the mouth of the river of the sand incessantly deposited by the Black Sea. The Russian authorities have manifested the inten tion of no longer removing that obstacle. lam assured that in the course of three or four years no merchant vessel will be able to enter. Our only hope now is in the inter vention of Austria, who is deeply interested in the matter, and in that of the Steam-boat Company, which intend s demanding of the Sultan to interfere with the Court of Russi PRUSSIA. We have the following from Berlin, by letter dated the 15th instant :—" Prince Albrecht and his consort are ar rived from Silesia, where they have been to visit the here ditary estates of the Queen of the Netherlands, and were present at the laying of the first stone of a new Royal resi dence at Kamentz, which is to be erected on a magnificent scale. Prince Albrecht is one of the richest of the Royal Family, as the Princess possesses a very considerable for tune, and the inheritance of Lord Keith adds largely to the appanage of the Prince. Their Royal Highnesses employ the major part of their means in purchasing estates in Silesia, where land is to be purchased at a moderate price. Not long ago they gave a million of francs for the domain of Schlenberg, and more recently acquired that of Schnellenberg, which adjoins it, for 500,000 f. The affairs of Moldavia and Wallachia are treated of in a long article from Bucharest of the 15th ult., quoted by the Leipsic Gazette, which passes in review the legislative changes that have occurred in the principalities during the last five years. It states that the greatest discontent at present exists throughout those countries, in consequence of Turkey having attempted to enforce the acceptation of an obnoxious regulation on the General Assembly, by which no deliberation of that body can be held valid, unless ap proved of by Russia and the Ottoman Porte. The Gene ral Assembly had not voted the budget, and had been dis solved ; but a new meeting of it was expected to be pro claimed before long. OF ARREST UNDER THE IMPRISON MENT FOR DEBT ACT.,--A case has been recently argued in the Court of Exchequer relative to the construction to to be given to the 3d section of the Act, which invests a Judge with discretionary power to hold a defendant to bail, on an affidavit of his being about to quit England. The question at issue was whether the section applies to those cases in which the intended departure of the debtor is not shown to be for the express purpose of delaying the creditor, although it may have the effect of so doing. I n the case alluded to (Larnbin v. Willful) it appeared that the defendant was an officer in the 22d Regiment, now stationed in Ireland, but that having obtained leave of absence for a few days he ,had come to this country, a n d been arrest e d du r ing his sti here, at the suit o f t h e plain• tiff, under an order from Ba on Gurney.
